Two series of poly(ester imide)s derived from bis(trimellitic acid anhydride) phenyl ester (TAHQ) and bis[(3,4-dicarboxylic anhydride) phenyl] terephthalate (PAHP), as well as poly(ether imide)s based on hydroquinone diphthalic anhydride (HQDPA), were synthesized with aromatic diamines via solution polycondensation. These polyimide films were transparent with an ultraviolet-visible absorption cut-off wavelength below 375 nm, and with tensile strengths of 42.0–83.8 MPa, tensile moduli of 2.5–4.7 GPa and elongations at break of 2.1–5.4%. Compared with the poly(ether imide)s, the poly(ester imide)s showed higher glass transition temperatures (Tg), lower water absorption (WA) and lower temperature of 5% weight loss (Td5%). Moreover, the poly(ester imide)s derived from PAHP with a low electron affinity of 2.04 eV by theoretical calculation achieved better transparency, lower WA and slightly lower Tg than the corresponding TAHQ-based poly(ester imide)s.
